In completely unrelated news about my favourite anime being dubbed. The dub for Mawaru Penguindrum is being directed by Steven Foster. He did the dub for Ghost Stories... and HOTD. So yea, it's gonna be a joke dub. And while I wasn't gonna watch the dub anyways, it still depresses me to know that at least one person will watch the dub without knowing how heavily it is altered from the source material.

As for a 4kids dub, 99% of scenes are cut out as it is deemed "to confusing or unfit for children".

Bakuman - I really motivated middle school boy becomes even more motivated when another boy wants to start a writing club with him. They become so passionate they use their parents money to rent out a building and pretend their publishing the book. Other students join. They're authors, not mangaka 'cause kids won't get that. No romance scenes, too lewd. And Kaya is stripped of all her feistiness 'cause girls can't do boxing.

Toradora: Ryuuji (Now named Ben) meets a nice wholesome Christian female, Taiga (Now called Elizabeth). Ben proceeds to court her properly and then asks her father for permission to marry her after many months of a steady relationship and having established himself financially. They live happily ever after. The end.

Spice and Wolf:
>all scenes of Holo naked would be redrawn to show her wearing clothes.
>Lawrence and Holo's relationship would stay 100% platonic
>Holo is no longer a wolf in human form, but a girl that is part wolf spirit
>remove all scenes of Holo in wolf form
>story is changed from traveling to Holo's homeland to trying to find a way to make her 100% human

from the looks of things, it cost too much for what little return they get in domestic sales.
Spice and Wolf appears to be more popular abroad than in Japan, and most animation companies take domestic sales a lot more serious than international/total sales.
